Black Eyes Lyrics - The Family Tree: The Roots - Radical Face

When you last left me my blood was in a jar 

And you kept it on your mantelpiece 

I couldn't count on anyone to stand there behind me 

And keep the dogs from dragging me off with them 

While I slept you crept in and pulled the rug right out from under me 

In the rain you stole away and took the parts that kept me functioning 

My heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you 

And I said, this life ain't no love song while I marched on blindly 

And my knuckles dragged across the walls 

And the birds up there mock me and the scenery's turned wicked 

And your name is trapped beneath my tongue

Take a step, take another step, take another step, not a care for where they fall 

You burned me, yeah you've burned me, yeah you've burned me now one too many times 

My thoughts are the cold kind, I've got storm clouds that are brewing behind my eyes 

And my heart will be blacker than your eyes when I'm through with you
